Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2012
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesTight, dusty, cedar coffee with just a hint of blackberry. Youthful almost rustic style on entry. Similarly youthful dry, grainy tannins preview more cedar, pepper, smoke, coffee, resin and blackberry jam. This needs time, two to four years, for the wine to come out and show its true colours. Best now with a grilled steak or lamb.Tasted: 15 January 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $66.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Mark Anthony Brands |
